Think Defence hopes to start sensible conversations about UK defence issues, no agenda or no campaign but there might be one or two posts on containers, bridges and mexeflotes!

    I notice that the RN appears now to be adopting the word ‘practise’. Could be part of 1SL’s program for closer co-operation with our neighbors, which seems to be happening real soon. Still, was good to see Ocean getting back into shape with most everyone working real hard, gettin’ it right first time and not having to do it over because they were sitting on their fannies.

    “Engineering Defect Rectification?” Is that like fixing a mechanical fault (also know as a broken part)?

    The stew looked good. Beef?

    I just watched that whole video just to see the stew.

    And the last word of 2014 went to Phil :)

    “Protecting our nation’s interests”?

    Good grief.

    It’s a little better than the love boat nonsense that the Navy normally come up with, but it’s still a film about cooking stew, parking and unparking a few helicopters, and a bird watching a bloke unscrewing a nut. It’s not really going to strike fear into the heart of some spotty Birmingham teenager who might want to join IS in Syria, or might not and instead get some new trainers.

    If that’s what the modern Navy is about, as a taxpayer I want a refund.
